Season's greetings, friends. My settings show a 10 hr offset for my time zone but the forum is greeting me for the wrong time of day. Is there a glitch?

CraigB · « **Reply #1 :** December 27, 2020, 00:47:26 »

Working normally here Gonz at 13 hour offset, I'm guessing it's a daylight saving issue which we don't do here in WA

Still showing Good Morning here too. At 4 pm. Which is unusual.
It's been fine up till today.

So not a daylight saving issue.

How weird

I'll check my display when I pass 12:00 noon - currently 08:30

~~Have you guys switched to 12h format (from 24h) in your profile?~~

Any chance of a screenshot?

The difference between us appears to be the display format (selectable via Look & Layout in your profile)

I'm set to 24 hour display and the time shown is cock-on with a 5 hour offset

Mine seems ok. Correct time 3.05 am and says Giid f***ing morning ..

CraigB · « **Reply #7 :** December 27, 2020, 11:11:06 »

Seems like most Australian states are running behind me in WA instead of 2 1/2 to 3 hours in front, Dazz has the correct 3 hour advance though

Currently 12am here, Gonz should be 2.30am and Surferdude 3am

The code inspects the first two digits of the time and forms the greetz from that.

Showing correct time here

Surferdude · « **Reply #10 :** December 27, 2020, 14:40:02 »

It's correct again this morning but definitely wasn't yesterday.
I have to say, it was always wrong until a few months ago.
I never bothered reporting it because it's no big deal. But I did notice when it fell into line with my time zone.

But it certainly had a meltdown yesterday.

Strange.

Next time it shows a daft greeting, would you mind posting a screeny please?

Surferdude · « **Reply #12 :** December 27, 2020, 17:06:50 »

No problemo.
In the meantime, this is my default view when I open the page.
Happens on both my tablet and phone, both Samsung.
Also used to happen on my Google Pixel phone.

I can scroll across or I can shrink it to fit.
If there's a photo I have to scroll across it within the window.

I tend to just put up with these things but surely there's a setting somewhere I've overlooked.

Sorry. Wasn't meant to show the time. Just that I have to manually resize my screen every time I access the forum.

Yeah. I know.

Surferdude · « **Reply #15 :** December 27, 2020, 18:26:17 »

Actually it's 5 hours out.

Shambles · « **Reply #16 :** December 27, 2020, 18:33:21 »

Well, the "Good Mornng" looks correct, but what the hell are you doing up at that time ?

Surferdude · « **Reply #17 :** December 27, 2020, 18:42:03 »

That was taken a few minutes ago.
But I DO get up early to go surfing at this time of year.

It's light enough at 4 am.

Surferdude · « **Reply #18 :** December 27, 2020, 18:48:13 »

Local time shows as 4.46am. it was actually 9.46am.

Surferdude · « **Reply #20 :** December 27, 2020, 18:54:45 »

I just changed the time format to get the correct time.
It was set at auto correct but wasn't.

Surferdude · « **Reply #21 :** December 27, 2020, 18:56:05 »

So. What about my screen size issue?
If I change to landscape it's still cut off.

@Shambles ??

The current forum theme isn't ideal for phones or small tablets, which is why a lot (and I mean a lot) of members are currently using Tapatalk, which is free to install and use.

We should really add a mobile-friendly (aka "responsive") theme to the club, but there aren't that many nice ones to choose from.

When SMF 2.1 goes gold (it's currently RC3) we should have better themes to install.

Surferdude · « **Reply #24 :** December 30, 2020, 14:56:49 »

OK. Thanks.
Now I know it's not just me, I can live with it.

Cheers and Happy New Year
